So excited for this release! Currently the only release I have of this film is a DVD that Facets recorded from a CUNY-TV broadcast. To say this will be an improvement is an understatement.

I very much love to read others profess their love of a film that I have not watched! It makes me excited over a release as well haha.

It occurs to me that I may be one of very few on this site who has seen this picture. 

 

It is an art house film involving swordsman that makes beautiful use of the Gobi Desert region in Western China. It functions as a story a bit like HIGH NOON where everything builds to a climatic showdown between the virtuous and wicked. 

 

It is, even in the sub standard form I currently own it, a beautiful, powerful, film. It is the rarest kind of film: an unpretentious movie about very deep ideas.
